Required qualifications 

Dear Friends,

The 54th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES), a joint event with the Applied Mechanics Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, will be hosted by Northeastern University, on July 25-28, 2017 at its Boston campus. Please visit www.ses2017.org for more information!

I am Dr. Emin Taner ELMAS and I am a member of IAENG (International Association of Engineers) with member No:164672.

I would like to kindly introduce you World Congress on Engineering and Computer Science WCECS 2017

Please kindly find all the required information  as below:

The Cauchy-Born (CB) hypothesis has been widely used in multi-scale modeling of crystalline nano-structures.

Dear Colleagues,

One Ph.D. candidate position is available in the Fall 2017 in the Elastomer Research Center (Cermel) at the Laboratory of Mechanics and Rheology (LMR) in the Polytechnic School of the University of Tours in France.

Job description

The aim of this Ph.D. is to extend the comprehension of the local mechanisms involved in elastomer materials, in order to faithfully reproduce their behavior in finite element models. The Ph.D. applicant is expected to carry out both theoretical and experimental work.
